The result was delete. Without prejudice for recreation. The discussion takes no problem with having this list, just that in it's present form (empty because it is unreferenced) it serves no useful purpose Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:06, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of Dhangar

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

After cleaning up the list from any entries which lacked all proof of notability (per WP:LISTPEOPLE) I was left with this list of 11 unsourced entries. I started looking at the articles to add sources that they are members of the caste. I started removing entries which did not even mention that membership in their own article, let alone source it ([1] [2]), and then found out none of the 11 entries had that caste membership even mentioned in their article (let alone being sourced). I therefore propose, rather than I delete them one by one, to delete the list since it is, per WP:LISTPEOPLE entirely empty. If a source can be found for one or two of them, they can be added to the article Dhangar. Muhandes (talk) 08:05, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For the time being, I removed all entries from the list since they were unsourced and I feel stating someone's caste without a source in which they identify as such is violation of BLP guidelines. this was the state of the article before I did that. --Muhandes (talk) 06:15, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
